title: [Noninvasive assessment of the system of peripheral arteries using the method of ultrasonic pan-arteriography].
abstract: The authors developed a method for studying the whole arterial system, except for the coronary arteries, by means of ultrasonic techniques. It was based on the conception of the generalized nature of atherosclerosis presuming the existence of some specific types of the process which may be classified into 5 categories (according to DeBakey) depending on the main focus of distribution of the disease. The method was named pan-arterial ultrasonography. It includes a series of ultrasonic examinations performed by means of Doppler's ultrasonic scanning apparatus operating in B-regimen with various transducers for determining the arterial blood flow and imaging the various arterial segments. The authors examined successfully 716 patients by the method.
